Ingredients
Scale
Cookies Base:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 large egg
Mango Components:
- 1 cup fresh mango, diced
- 1/3 cup mango puree
- 2 tbsp mango extract
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for optimal cookie preparation.
- Cream together butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large mixing bowl until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Incorporate the egg and vanilla extract into the butter mixture, stirring until completely smooth and well-combined.
- Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, creating a consistent cookie dough.
- Gently fold diced mango, mango puree, and mango extract into the dough, distributing the fruit evenly throughout.
- Chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to enhance flavor development and prevent excessive spreading during baking.
- Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving approximately 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes until edges turn golden brown and centers appear slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack and dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
- Let cookies completely cool before serving, allowing the mango flavors to settle and intensify.
Notes
- Chill dough thoroughly to concentrate mango flavor and prevent cookies from spreading too thin during baking.
- Use fresh, ripe mangoes for the most vibrant and intense tropical taste, ensuring maximum natural sweetness and rich mango essence.
- Experiment with gluten-free flour blend as a substitution for all-purpose flour to make the cookies suitable for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Enhance texture by adding finely chopped toasted coconut or white chocolate chips to complement the mango’s tropical profile and create delightful flavor complexity.
